Member, Valerie Quay

Valerie joined the public service sector in February 2014 after spending most of her life away in the UK since her teens. A lawyer by training, and inquisitive in nature, she always had a love for understanding the whys and hows of how things come together.

Knowledge Management has been inculcated in most of her legal training, and influenced her further through her role as a strategy consultant. One key lesson that continues to inspire Valerie in her KM pursuits is the challenge to always deepen and widen what we already know ; and use that as a premise to help us to be better learners, observers and practitioners for that which is to come.

Valerie enjoys strategic thinking, creative solutioning through collaboration and coffee chats with just everybody and anybody. She believes that tacit knowledge provides one of the best insights and intel to any given work we do.

Lynn firmly believes that the most important aspect of education is that of the character. Being an advocate of values education through genuine learning experiences, she plays an active role in the management of various projects and initiatives pertaining to learning and development.

Years of teaching experience coupled with her degrees in both Physics and Knowledge Management have also given her an edge in her analytical and management skills. In recognition of this, she has often been approached to serve as an advisor in areas pertaining to the promotion of knowledge sharing as well as the facilitation of information exchange.

Lynn believes that the success of any organisation is highly dependent on the ability of its management to make rational, informed decisions. As such, one can never afford to underestimate the importance of knowledge management and the resources necessary for facilitation of collaboration or dissemination of information.
